The least we can say is that Joel Embiid will have a choice. Having taken the oath two weeks ago, the player now has Cameroonian, French and American passports. Which also gives him the opportunity to be able to represent Team USA in international competitions.
Embiid justified this choice to theAssociated Press by evoking a family reason and in particular his son, born on American territory. He further mentioned the fact that he has lived in the country for a long time and that it is a privilege to be American.
While for many it seemed obvious that the pivot would represent the France at the international level, the suspense is revived. less than two years from the Paris Olympic Games, the future is more than vague. Player of MVP caliber for several seasons, his contribution to the France team would reinforce his status as contender. By joining Team USA, the ct Dream Team would be a little more confirmed and would leave the competition less of a chance to win the gold. On the other hand, greatly reduced the chances of seeing Embiid in the Cameroonian jersey. Which is a shame for the nation, and Africa. Its potential duo with Pascal I’m sorry could have given birth to vocations across the country and the continent.
